Pasta Pomodoro

"Wherever you go, home is something you can always take with you. I've tried to create a little bit of Milan here in Pomodoro. Great style, real tradition and a passion for food are everything that home means to me." - Adriano Paganini, Founder

When I dined at Pasta Pomodoro, I wasn't very much impressed at first. I ordered the Spaghetti Polpette. It is spaghetti with veal, beef and italian sausage meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce. I thought it tasted okay.. nothing fancy. Then one time, My boss and I decided to go to Bay Street for lunch. I was craving for something italian that day (well, almost everyday since I LOVVVEE italian food) I decided to give it another shot.

Lo and behold, I tasted the most delicious, most scrumptious panna cotta I've ever had! Ooops.. let's start from the appetizer hehe ;) They have the best Caesar Salad (well after Broadway Grill of course) and I always request a side dressing with it. Gamberi, shrimp roasted in a cast iron tegame with tomato, garlic and chilli, is a very good starter too. If you want, you can order side noodles such as spaghetti (I think they are for free too, pennysaver woohoo!) and mix the gamberi sauce with it, and voila! your very own spicy shrimp pasta. Thanks to the waiter who gave us this tip.

Okay, for the main course, here is what i love. Ravioli di Magro with gorgonzola sauce.. very cheesy and tasty. Fruiti de Mare which my boss raves so much, it is spaghetti with mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari and garlic in a light tomato sauce. Parmigiana, well this never fails. It's actually chicken parmigiana with tomatoes, basil, asiago and penne with spinach.. Mmmm. Oh, and of course, my staple order, Penne Puttanesca. But I always request it be changed to spaghetti noodles, I don't know why, to each his own. :)

Now on to dessert.. PANNA COTTA! I eat at pasta pomodoro 2-3 times a week for this heavenly treat. My attendance would probably drop if they stop serving this anymore haha. Seriously, don't you even dare Mr. Paganini.
